I am the descendant of *Bill* & *Fannie* Thomason. Of the Tsalagi , from the *Dawes Rolls* . My great grandfather's mother passed when he was a little boy, he was raised in the Chickasaw community, and by his father's second wife: an immigrant from Lowland Scotland. He was ethnically Tsalagi, but raised among the Chickasaw, in the household of a Scotch woman, he was also a veteran of *World War 1* .
I'm very proud to be descendant of who I am.
Thank you for sharing. 🙏
